Beautiful place but don't trust anyone. Someone stole all of our fold up chairs that we left laying leaning beside our truck. They were not far, as if they weren't ours. They were right next to our truck and someone decided to steal all of them.

Pretty area with gorgeous views of the lake. Cute little boardwalk. We took our bikes and hit the Withlacoochee State Trail from here. Nice parking area and clean bathrooms.

This is a nice quiet park where you can have multiple activities. There is a boat ramp. If you decide that you want to go fishing plenty of parking. It’s kind of secluded kind of quiet. It does have a playground for kids. The restrooms are available. Nothing else much going on here. It is kind of small, but it is connected to a trail. If you have a bike or you’re gonna be walking

This off the beaten path park is a peaceful place to enjoy real Florida. We usually come here on weekdays when it's not crowded and quiet. The fishing pier affords beautiful views of the Withlacoochee river. Some trails are pleasantly shaded and have covered picnic tables or benches to take a break. Ammenities include - ↪️ Restrooms ↪️ Boat ramp (fee required) & fishing pier 🎣 ↪️ Pavilions with grills as well as many picnic tables ↪️ Hiking, biking, and equestrian trails ↪️ Playground, basketball court, and volleyball court ↪️ Baseball field

We Conoed from Silver Lake to Lake Townsen Preserve and it was absolutely stunning the whole time. We saw plenty of alligators and even had a very close encounter with a very big one that could've gone badly, but thankfully it didn't 🤣 all-in-all it was about a 7 mile conoe trip and we loved it. Plenty of open areas as well as some narrow areas of the river and there was even a downed tree that caused us to have to get onto the tree and lug our conoe over which wasn't as hard as it sounds and felt very adventurous. It was a very fun and beautiful adventure!
